    Plot a line graph showing the diference between two columns

    I want to plot a simple line graph that shows the difference (x values) between two cells in two seperate columns A2 and A3 , without calculating and pasting the diference in a seperate column A4, against a time line A1 (Y values). So basically that is Plotting X vs Y without having the A4 column. Any help would be appreciated
    For Example
    A1 A2 A3 A4
    Y X

    Hello,

    you can create a named range with the formula

    =Sheet1!$C$2:$C$4-Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4

    Then create an XY chart and enter this as the series formula.

    =SERIES("data",Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4,YourFileName!YValues,1)

    Replace "YourFileName" with the name of your file.

    cheers,
